"It's Okay, Hazel. I Just Wanted To Check If You Do Have Any."

[ Mayari sighs ]

"I suppose that's a fair point....."

[ She reaches out to Hazel, hesitant at first, but pats the assistant at the back to attempt comforting her ]

"But still...... how are we supposed to help each other escape if we're not even at our tip-top shape? I may not know the full story, but I think I can see you cracking little by little each time. I'm not forcing you or anything, but you can always talk to me about.......this if you're feeling overwhelmed."

"Umm...hi, Hazel, it's Mayari. Are you okay?"

-🌙🪼

[ Hazel looked up at Mayari, nodding. ]

“ … A… ah, yes, Ms. Sadelle. I’m doing well for the time being… though, the previous few events have been… staggering, to say the least. I sincerely apologize for not being more helpful during the class trial, I’m… not very experienced when it comes to… events like this.

…That doesn’t matter. How are you doing, Ms. Sadelle? Do you have anything else you wish to talk to me about? “

[ She tilted her head to the side, waiting. ]

"Hmmm......"

[ Mayari seems to be lost in thought as she's just sitting in the dining hall with her chin atop of her hand. ]

"Kuya Ciano, Allie, Tian gēge, and even Cherri have been talking to the students from another quadrant recently......I guess that's what happens when you use this app......Should I try talking to them as well?"

[ Her hair and eyes glowed in white and blue as she shook her head in confliction. ]

"Ughh...... Where and who do I even start with? .....Hm?"

[ As she struggles with her conundrum, she doesn't even notice someone walking in the dining hall finding her. ]

I miss them 🥲

Love chapter one SO MUCH>_<!!! Especially their dynamic!

AHHHHHHHH

WAITWAITWAITWAITAWAIT

WAIT A MINUTE—

haii!! Im bringing the typa greed they talk about in the bible (*´ー｀*) can iiii get 55 burgers 55 fries 55 nugget 55 cola 55 erm errm damon drabble for valentines..? It dont have to be finished/posted at valentines i just want something something okiee thank!!!!

anything for u my most favorite down bad damon fan!! (^_^) im sorry it’s so short… but happy valentines!

damon maitsu’s ultimate talent is debating, not dating. which is why despite being the self proclaimed smart guy, he’s struggling (almost terribly). not to a point where it’s annoying or a hassle in any way though, thankfully it’s stupidly endearing.

after every choice, he thinks back to his parents. oh how sweet and kind his parents are to give him advice on how to not mess up a date.

‘make sure to be a gentleman compliment them!’ his mother says. then, his dad perks up. ‘yeah, hit ‘em with a good pickup line or two!’ he exclaimed cheerfully. right at the doorframe his mother adjusts his suit while his dad watches with a smile. her hands run along the soft fabric, a material both she and her husband are familiar with as they made this very suit he’s wearing tonight. ‘don’t forget what we’ve told you, alright?’ his mother says.

he absolutely did not forget.

“ah, hello? earth to damon?” you call out, waving your hand in front of him. he quickly blinks, seeming restless.

“huh? oh, yeah?” he perks, you quirk your brows. you look at him confused, though you’re actually more worried.

“you were definitely spacing out, are you okay? is this date… boring?” you asked nervously. you don’t want to hear him agree.

“no! not at all. i- uh-” his eyes wonder around, from you to the table then everything else. he’s looking for something, anything that can… oh he’s got just the thing. “a-are you a rose? cause you’re as beautiful as ever” he lets out an awkward laugh. he noticed the jar of roses sitting in the middle of the table, and decided to use his dad’s advice now.

‘don’t forget to hit ‘em with a good pickup line or two!’

suddenly you laugh. bright and stunning — you laughed at his stupid joke. his heart was struck.

“hahah! damon, where’d that come from? that’s… sweet. thank you” you smile at him, and reach out to hold his hand. “i didn’t know you were one for pickup lines… hm. i like your outfit, i think it really suits you” you giggle, and so does he. oh how your heart feels warm too. “actually that counts more as a pun, huh?”

he shakes his head. “no, it’s okay. it has the same effect. but thank you, my parents made it for me”

you gave a surprised expression. “really? wow! they must be very talented. no wonder their son is too”

damon blushes again. “yeah they’re… they’re pretty good. thank you for acknowledging my talent, even if it’s boring sometimes”

“no way!” you protest. “you’re anything but boring. c’mon, how about you tell me a little more about how you got into debate and all, let me hear all about you, maitsu”

god damon was gonna be a flustered mess by the end of this dinner date. the one thing his parents didn’t tell him to do was keep his composure. so… maybe it’s okay if he loses it a little, right?

“okay. well, it all started when i was in elementary…”

[ Surprised by him being calm and haven't given her a negative reaction out of this reveal, Mayari couldn't answer his question without stuttering. ]

"Ah..... O-oh! To answer your question, it's more or less like that. Honestly, I'm surprised that you're somehow..... taking this well. Even up to the point where you'd offer a few of your designs..."

To Mayari,

"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."

@the-feathered-fashionista

[ Mayari's hair glows into white, while her eyes glow into white and blue separately due to the surprise of this. ]

"Oh, you're one of Allie's friends?"

Oh no, how am I gonna introduce myself without scaring her friend off with my talent? But since Allie told him about me, I should be fine, right???

"I-I'm Mayari. Mayari Sadélle.

I'm the..... The Ultimate Test Subject.

Nice to meet you, too."

I just realized something..... I was doom scrolling on Tumblr, I forgot who it was, but someone was already drawing their OC's blackmail art.

And I thought, "How the heck did I not even think of drawing Mayari's blackmail art even though I already told my ideas about it to some of my mutuals in DMs????"

...........BRB 🏃‍♀️💨

the nerd i reblogged this from has a quality blog & i recommend you all follow them.

"Well.... Aside from places we've already seen before the mock trial, sadly no....."

[ Mayari crosses her arms and furrowed her eyebrows ]

"But still, the gates around the Tree of Discipleship look suspicious...... how do you think they'd be opened, Hazel?" (@ultimate-assistant)

"Hello? Luciano? It's Mayari.... Oh! And Hazel's with me!"

-🌙🪼 and @ultimate-assistant

Oh, hey guys! What's up?

[ Mayari places her finger onto her chin as she thinks. ]

"Well..... for starters, he wouldn't like something that's based on gender norms, so I guess maybe something that's unisex...."

To Mayari,

"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."
